All 19 Documented Cases
Asset Theft, Shrinkage & Unauthorized Usage
₹50,000–₹300,000 annually (typical shrinkage 5–15% of asset base in uncontrolled environments); cost per unrecovered asset ₹5,000–₹50,000 (laptops, phones, equipment)Manual asset management enables fraud: (1) No real-time location tracking → employees take assets off-site without permission; (2) Weak offboarding controls → exiting staff retain laptops/devices; (3) No audit trail for asset disposal → equipment 'lost' is actually sold; (4) Inventory shrinkage undetected for months; (5) Duplicate asset records mask missing items.
Manual Asset Allocation & Onboarding Delays
₹30,000–₹60,000 annually (20–40 unproductive hours/month × ₹500–₹1,000/hour × 12 months); per-hire delay cost ₹5,000–₹10,000 (lost productivity × days waiting)Manual asset workflows create operational bottlenecks: (1) New hire joins → HR sends email to IT, Admin, Facilities (asynchronous); (2) Each department manually checks asset availability in spreadsheets; (3) Approvals loop back via email; (4) Physical asset handoff happens days/weeks later; (5) New employee sits idle waiting for equipment; (6) Project start dates slip.
Asset Audit & Verification Time Drag
₹50,000–₹150,000 annually (80–120 audit hours @ ₹500–₹1,000/hour); working capital drag from delayed balance sheet closure; audit cycle time 4 weeks → 3–5 days (savings ₹20,000–₹40,000/year in labor)Manual audit cycles block financial processes: (1) Physical count team walks through offices with clipboards/spreadsheets; (2) Discrepancies identified → investigation required (where is asset X?); (3) Follow-up counts and reconciliation spanning weeks; (4) Corrections made to asset register post-audit; (5) Fixed asset ledger finalized late; (6) Financial statements delayed.
Fixed Asset Depreciation & GST ITC Mismatch
₹50,000–₹200,000 annually per organization (ITC reversals @ 18% GST + 10% penalty + audit costs); typical GSTR mismatch fine ₹10,000–₹25,000 per error flaggedFixed asset management without integrated GST compliance leads to: (1) Incorrect depreciation schedules causing ITC mismatches; (2) Manual asset location/cost updates creating GSTR reconciliation errors; (3) Audit trail gaps resulting in ITC disallowance; (4) Delayed detection of asset transfers between cost centers triggering GST compliance violations.
